has scarcely covered the cost OF producing it,
nevertheless We of Southern Marylan are 10th
to give it up until assur d that something
equally az staple will t:ke it's pl-ce.
Now that the time /. at hand to prepare tn"
beds for tobacco plants, many Of our m st ex-

Mr.. Max Lansburg, Of Baltimore, has
purchased the village On the Potomac river
known as Qaan,ico. The purchase comprises
the land lying between Quantics asd Chappa-
wamic creeks and extending back to the tele-
graph road. 1t contains some 4. 300 acres of
land, and was purchased about fifteen years ago
by Jessie N. Hoyt, of New York, Mr.. AcCor-
mick the Chicago reaper man, and other cap
,alists, with the intention of maxim! it an at
tractve summer resort. They also proposed
to construct railroad across the country
through Prince William county, making con-
nectious with Manassas Junction, with the
view of making it a shipping point. large

LOSS PromptIy Compensated

On Monday Of this week. Mr.. V. II. Neale,
Of Baltimore, hired horse and buggy OF Mr..
W Hicks, at White Plains to drive on CON-
mercia tour of the eastern section of the ceun-
". Stopping at Woodvlle on the same night
with friend Mr. Neale had the horse cared
for in the private stable of his friend, and on
the 70 flowing morning it WAS found that the
leg OF the horse had been broken during the
night, by kick of another horse in the stable
MS it is supposed TIE horse was so badly IN
iure3 that it had to be killed. Mr.. Neale
promptly returned to White Plains and, in
forming Mr. Hicks of the accident, asked him
to fl the value of the horse which being done
he immediately paid in cash the full value Of
the animal. The honorable conduct OF Mr..
Neale in making such prompt compensation for
the loss deserves high commendation; and
furnishes a good example TO other commercial
travellers who in similar cases heretofore have
not shown such a ready spirit OF justice.

The Territorial Board OF II salth is being
soundly blessed by several communities
for Unfortunately granting licenses to
practice medicine. 1t is claimed the
Board has given licenses to whomsoever
might apply, upon the payment Of the re-
CURED fee, and with little regard to the
knowledge, or ability Of the applicant. A
report from Hyde county saws this board
granted license to quack living in that
county, who had twice been refused by o
former board. The legality OF the boards
existence is seriously questioned by some.
but we presume this is AT over Jealous
opposition. But, however legal the
Boards existence may be it is certainly
not the intent OF the law creating it, TO
place any community at the mercy Of
illitente quaeks, as is claimed to bo the
case in Hand and other counties In the
